BMC Cancer is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on the epidemiology of disease and the understanding of all aspects of cancer research, including the pathophysiology, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancers.

The journal does not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field.

We are interested in individuals who are committed to open access, data sharing and innovation in scientific publishing. Our Section Editors should have a minimum of fifty research papers published in reputable peer-review journals.

Suitable Section Editors for BMC Cancer can be described as someone who supports the journal’s ethos, scope, editorial standards, and policies, and is a committed advocate who will support and drive their journal sections and represent BMC Cancer within the scientific community.
